Minuteman Project plans new border patrol

“Some say the original Minuteman Project conducted in April 2005 in Cochise County and a subsequent patrol in October brought increased national attention to the Arizona stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I think we’ve clearly been the catalyst that has sparked the national debate,” said Minuteman president Chris Simcox. “That’s been our goal, to bring national attention to the fact that the government has failed miserably to bring control to the southern border.”

However many Hispanic groups and advocates for immigrant rights still call the Minuteman group racist or vigilantes.”
